Search & Rescue

Mat Mershimer is a straight 'A' high school student, volunteers in search and rescue and is an Eagle Scout. He also drives his grandfather's old '88 Chevy pickup truck that's seen better days. Mat's dad, Jim, contacted the Overhaulin' A team because he would like Mat, who is always doing nice things for others, to have something nice done for him for a change. But we can't make it that easy for Mat. And we need to get a hold of that truck! Our host Chris Jacobs poses as a tow truck operator who comes to Mat's house to tow away the truck because straight-as-an-arrow Mat has too many parking tickets. Eagle Scout Mat has never gotten a ticket in his life but with some help from his father Jim, as our insider, away goes Mat's truck to our Overhaulin' garage. And little does Mat know but we've got Nascar driver Robby Gordon helping the A Team out, too! Chip Foose, our Overhaulin' A Team leader, starts designing the plans for one amazing search and rescue vehicle while we continue to play a few more tricks on unsuspecting Mat. It seems that tow truck guy who took Mat's truck is actually the leader of a car thief ring! Mat thinks he's never going to see his beloved pickup truck ever again. But what does Mat see in the garage when he's invited to take a tour of Robby Gordon's Speed Shop? No way can that be his old truck! Will all the pain, and pranking, that Mat's endured be worth it once he sees his new search and rescue vehicle? (more...)

Museum Worthy

Chuck de Heras is a car collecting aficionado. His true love of the automobile and its history has meant he's developed a friendship with Dick Messer - who runs The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. A quick call from Dick to Chuck asking if he can borrow one of Chuck's cars from his collection, a '50 Ford Coupe, for a display at the Petersen is all it takes for our Overhaulin' A Team to get their hands on this shabby classic. Time to get to work! We've only got a week. But, it's not long before Chuck gets the call from his friend telling him that his car has been stolen from the Petersen Museum. While the team works round the clock on the car, hosts Chris & Courtney pose as insurance agents from hell and show up at the museum accusing Chuck and Dick of stealing the car to commit insurance fraud. Lies, all lies, and all part of the ruse to keep Chuck away from his car and keep our team working. When Chuck gets a call from Dick Messer asking him to come down to museum, Chuck finds cop cars and those two pesky insurance agents again when he gets there. Is it possible that his friend Dick is actually a car thief? Of course not but now we've got Chuck back to the museum to reveal his new, overhauled Ford. (more...)

Parts Guy

Jeff Miller has dreams of singing rock and maybe doing a little sound engineering but for now, he works the counter at Original Parts Group, an auto supply shop in Huntington Beach, California. Jeff's very cool boss at OPG is Tony and he can see the potential not only in Jeff but also in Jeff's rather ratty '71 Chevelle. Our "Overhaulin' A Team", led by designer Chip Foose, is ready to get working and turn this ratty rod into a rad rod but first, they need to get the car away from Jeff. No problem! Jeff's boss is our insider who's going to pretend that he needs to borrow Jeff's Chevelle for a bogus infomercial. The fun doesn't end there though as we pull a few a pranks on Jeff to keep him on his toes and to keep him guessing as to what exactly is going on with his car. We even have one of our team members order parts for Jeff's car - from Jeff at the auto parts store! Hmmm, how many lime green Chevelles are there in Huntington Beach anyway? The time comes to show Jeff his new ride - complete with a new engine, custom paint job and totally redone interior. Will he even recognize it as his own? (more...)

Surfer Kid

Mylan Hayes loves to surf & he tries to get out on his board everyday, getting to the beach in his rusty old '77 El Camino. Coming back from the beach from a day of surfing, Mylan has a "dude, where's my car?" moment when he can't find his car in the parking lot where he left it. Mylan's folks, Vicki and Tim, working as our insiders, clued us into where Mylan parked the car and now our Overhaulin' A Team has it. But, they don't have much time to turn it into the coolest of surf wagons. We send Mylan on a wild goose chase trying to find his car, taking him our fake impound lot where he's turned away because the car is in his dad's name. While Mylan keeps searching, our team keeps building. We've even got surfer Tyler Hatzikian in the shop to create some custom boards to ride in the back of the El Camino. Mylan's back at yet another impound lot but this time he'll find out the truth about his new, amazing ride. Will it be the surfin' mobile that he's always wanted? (more...)

902-Merlot

Actor Ian Ziering played the role of “Steve” for years on “Beverly Hills 90210.” His character had a love of cool and fast cars -- that “love” wasn’t acting; Ian is a car guy who has been trying to trick-out a ‘68 Camaro for years. After enough stalling, Ian’s pal Terry got involved. He’s our insider and our A-Team on this Chevy is Chip Foose, Sal Perez, Jim Sleeper, Aaron Ohama, Josh Kamholz, Rick Andersen, Mundo Hernandez and Orlando Hernandez. The ruse: the Camaro is locked in a shop that Ian hears is going “bankrupt.”

Of course, nobody is going bankrupt, nothing is being liquidated, but we prank and fool with Ian as his ‘68 Camaro comes together for a week at American Muscle Cars in California. When the car is finally cool and Foose-perfect, Ian is told to show up at AMC or risk losing the car to shop creditors. Standing before the locked-up shop, who phones Ian? None other than fellow 90210 star, Jason Priestley. Jason tells Ian that he is now on hidden camera; that inside that now-opening shop is the very cool car Ian always dreamed about. (more...)

School's Out

Dale is one of the top dogs at the foundation that supplies both scholarship funding and project cars for the prestigious car-building college Wyoming Tech in Laramie, Wyo. Dale secures old donated vehicles for the school. But, unbeknownst to Dale, the OVERHAULIN' pranksters took one of those cars from his property and brought it to the WyoTech campus. It's there that over 30 student builders, along with the OVERHAULIN' build team of Chip Foose, Troy Trepanier, Bryan Fuller and Levi Green, transformed the dusty old '56 Chevy Bel Air into something truly special for the school.

The finished car will be the mascot for WyoTech, as well as a possible scholarship funding source if the Chevy is auctioned off. But before that, Dale was led on a goose chase during the week of the build, hearing that the car was discovered crossing state lines and on its way to a chop shop. OVERHAULIN' made use of the school and city, painting Western themes, as Dale was finally led back to Wyo Tech, only to see a car that in almost no way resembled the one stolen from him just a week before. (more...)

Season 4

Mean Anemul

Manuel is being taken for a ride, but it's not in his precious and rare Oldsmobile 442. The ride is actually by a list of mechanics who’ve some how managed to convince Manuel to part with thousands of dollars with promises of restoring his 442 into a mean machine.

Manuel has owned the car for over 8 years, and kept it at his parent’s house. The first set of mechanics was his father’s friends, who decide to follow the father’s instructions rather than Manuel’s. The shifter has never been fixed, the suspension makes the car tilt in a bizarre direction and the engine was spray-painted a horrific gold.

Now Manuel was taken by another garage shop that stored his car for 4 months and never did an ounce of work on it. Manuel got fed up and took the car; but he still had to pay the storage fees! Now his girlfriend is suggesting Manuel take it to her reliable mechanic—which of course is Overhaulin’……...

Kate says that Manuel is a very positive and outgoing person. He’s an artist, musician, soccer player and all-around cool dude. He is also a wacky guy who will dress up in a gorilla or chicken outfit and go to a party—just for the reaction. Kate says he invented a “car alarm dance” that is hilarious: we’d love to see that performed once he gets overhauled. (more...)

Le Mama's Boy

Tony is called “Mr. Personality” by his friends because he loves life and is very charismatic and animated, and his childhood best friends know because they still hang out with him: his buddy Rob and other best friend, is actor Charlie Sheen. It was Sheen who actually filled out the application for Overhaulin’ to ask for Tony’s car to be overhauled. Charlie and Tony have been best friends since they were teenagers, and Tony was even the Best Man at Charlie’s wedding……

Tony was raised by his single mom: he had plenty of love but not a lot of material things. His dream came true we he bought a cool classic car, but it soon turned into a nightmare when he realized how much work and money was involved to get it looking perfect.

Tony always talks about driving the guys to a baseball game in his car, but Rob says he knows Tony is too embarrassed to drive the Lemans because it’s not reliable.

When Rob was asked how Tony might react to his car being stolen/missing, he answered “Ever take a lollypop from a baby? A steak from a lion? He’s gonna lose it!” Tony’s best friends--Charlie and Rob—put that theory to the test and put their buddy through the ringer before he gets his dream car back.

Watch as Charlie Sheen plays prank after prank on his friend and joins the cast and crew of Overhaulin’ on for one of his most difficult acting jobs ever! And it’s an award-winning performance at that! (more...)

Spaced Out

Jamie is described as loud, charming, excitable and extremely social by his girlfriend Gretchen. She just cracks up at him because he’s such a hoot. Jamie was given the Galaxie as a high school graduation present 12 years ago. He had it looking good at the time and would cruise and take pictures of himself in it.

Life started getting tough, his mother was diagnosed with cancer so he took on caring for her and the financial burden of the household. His grandparents live with the mom so he is looking after them as well. Jamie has not time or money left to spend on himself.

Gretchen often hears Jamie talking with his buddies about „old times‰ and eventually everything comes back to the Galaxie. Jamie is often sad about the condition of the car; the tires are flat, the interior and top are ruined, the body has some rust spots.

The accomplice is a hottie and the mark is rambunctious ... should be a good episode. (more...)

Chip & Chris Flipped

One fine day, as a fun and fascinating change of pace, Chip Foose and Chris Jacobs decided to swap jobs for an episode of Overhaulin’. Of course, that meant that Chip would spend the week co-hosting along with A.J., while Chris would shoulder the responsibility of designing the car and working nonstop with the A-Team. The car for that week was Geoff’s ‘67 Dodge Coronet, a classic-model MOPAR that Chris loves.

Insiders included Geoff’s wife, Amy and his dad, Lowell. As the week went on, Chip did everything that goes into doing Chris’ job. Meanwhile, Chris devoted every waking hour to the car build, making it into a cool muscle car that could easily be the dream-ride of any MOPAR fan this side of Dodge City. Prank-wise, Overhaulin’ threw Geoff off track by framing his “stolen” car into a fatal car accident, requiring the police to impound the car as an investigation took place. But on D-Day, the police informed Geoff that his car was not the vehicle that killed a bicyclist (played by Chip in the opening prank.) Of course, by now, the truth was told and Geoff was soon off to see his Chris-Designed ride. (more...)

Isaias get the overhaul of a lifetime when his father's old 1967 Dodge A-100 truck Isaias’ ‘67 Dodge A-100 is a big part of Kristine’s life. From the day Kristine and Isaias met, he had talked about his dad’s odd Dodge that was part van, part truck and just plain unique. Once the couple married and started a family, Isaias spoke of fixing up the A-100 and one day giving it to their son. It’s the vehicle Isaias had worked on as a kid with his dad, and Isaias wanted to keep it in the family. But Kristine knew it needed a lot of help.

She contacted Overhaulin’, where Foose was delighted to tackle such a strange ride. To keep Isaias confused, the Overhaulin’ Pranksters also took Isaias’ Sea-Doo when they lifted the Dodge. As the week went on, Isaias was flustered with the police (aka Chris and the pranksters) it seems the law was more interested in finding the more valuable Sea-Doo than the more sentimental favorite: the A-100. Chip decided to Overhaul both the Dodge and the Sea-Doo, as well as the watercraft’s towing trailer, making all three into one color-coordinated set. As the build went on, super-guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepard brought tunes to the A-Team, a crew that made beautiful music on Isaias’ big D-Day. (more...)
